'24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

[Irishdrunk]

I’m going to explain this to you REALLY SLOWLY…

Announcing & committing aren’t the same thing.
Silent commit & committing aren’t the same thing.
Notre Dame can’t legally say anything about a kid who isn’t signed.
A kid doesn’t have to announce.

A silent is when a kid tells a school he is coming but doesn’t want anybody to know.
A commitment is a kid just committing. If that kid doesn’t want to announce, nobody will know.

The only way we ever know is if a kid announces, not if he just commits.

So if Lambert doesn’t put out an announcement, we will never know until he signs.
That’s his right & his choice.

So Lambert, being somebody who doesn’t like attention, (and this has happened recently with another ND commit), calls ND and says he will sign with them & his recruitment is over.
He then calls the other schools & says he is not signing with them & his recruitment is closed.
Those other coaches can’t publicly say anything either. The only indication would be their sites leaking it with ND predictions.

Nobody is “closed” until they sign. You take each kid at his word.
A public announcement doesn’t mean anything more than a commitment.

Let me put out this 100% hypothetical, that nobody told me, I’m making this up on my own, no inside knowledge, it didn’t happen, but what if…
Let’s just pretend, for fun of course, Lambert doesn’t want attention, is sick of the process, called the ND staff & committed. Then called the other coaches & told them thank you but no. Lambert doesn’t announce because he doesn’t do social media and doesn’t care. Everyone at the ND & other teams’ sites know, but aren’t able to say anything about it & ND and other teams can’t legally say anything about it.
Man, wouldn’t that be crazy? A kid commits to a team with no announcement, kind of like the way it was from 1880-2000?

Reaper that’s a lot of creativity and what-ifs. Man you write a lot.

I am comfortable with my belief that most Silent Commits are about as useful as a fart in the wind. Here is no different.

How does one explain something slowly when it is written?

Question.

With that logic, how is a regular commit any different? I keep hearing several people say that these commitments mean nothing until the ink dries (and some say, even after that it means nothing).

You compare it to Dante Moore, which in and of itself is a terrible comparison. Moore "silently committed" but still continued to show interest in other schools and kept listening to the pitch before he moved on from ND. Lambert has not done ANY of that. He's pretty much done with recruiting, not taking visits, not listening to other coaches. That's a pretty important differential if you ask me.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Still playing it coy.

Still playing it coy.

Come on Sea Turtle...Its a "Silent Commitment"..... break out the dancing emoji....

 

[BleedBlueGold]

With articulated sentences that are drawn out excessively so as to slow down the inner processing faculties that would rather speak before listening. I think, ... slowly, lol.

I dropped my WPM by about ten.

 

[stlnd01]

Still playing it coy.

Coy would be talking up a whole bunch of schools, telling recruiting reporters what they want to hear. Lots of recruits play it coy.
Lambert's just being quiet. And that's fine. He doesn't actually owe us anything.

This is all well and good, but my happiness is completely wrapped up in where the recruiting rankings stand. And dammit I deserve to be happy. If Lambert would announce his commitment then our rankings would improve AND I WOULD BE HAPPY...

Yeah, I really don't get why people are surprised or thinking this is concerning.

This is LITERALLY how Lambert has treated his recruitment the whole time. He went through his visits and ND remained as the clear leader. Nothing has changed. He's not speaking with other coaches or visiting other programs. Outside of a visit to BC to support his friends, he's shut things down entirely.

I'm fairly certain that he has committed to ND. But that isn't a "silent commit" similar to something like Moore, who wasn't ready to publicly announce and still decided to take other visits and talk to other staffs. Lambert simply doesn't care to engage in fanfare or buzz. His season starts in 2 weeks, so I imagine he's just going to drop his commitment right before then with zero fanfare and then get on with his season.

If that is what you think.

 

[stlnd01]

If that is what you think.

What is it that you think? This kid is running the most undercover auction for his services in the modern history of recruiting?

It sure seems like one of two things. He is solid to us and just hasn’t gone public yet because he’s clearly not into the attention. Or he has some personal life reason we don’t know about to stay close to home and will ultimately land at either BC or Harvard. Which would be too bad for us but OK that’s life sometimes.

 

[IrishSpartan]

By now I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just stops playing football

 

[Crazy Balki]

If that is what you think.

Logically more sensible than what you apparently think.

 

[ColinKSU]

I assume he has to commit somewhere at some point in the next six months. Or maybe not! Who’s to say?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

So nice to have actual football actually being played now....

 

[Irishdrunk]

There is no value in so-called Silent Commitment. Not for this kid.

So he is not committed IMHO. Verbals that are public at least have some perceptual basis while a so-called Silent is subject to theories by homerish analysts. We have been down this road before.

What exactly do you think a silent commit is?

Him committing to the staff & going about his business as usual isn’t the same as a kid committing but telling everyone to be quiet & he’s still looking around.

Him telling them he is committed is just as committed as Carr, or Williams, etc… They all can change their mind.

 

[Sea Turtle]

He hates the recruiting game so much that he doesn't want it to end.

You make no sense. He doesn’t like the pressure of being recruited so he doesn’t give a public verbal … wut???

A verbal publicly is all we can get until December. Most verbals DONT flip. Get the public verbal and we are likely good to go.

A silent commitment is meaningless and is usually the figment of the imagination of homers.

 

[Reaper97]

It has ended.

I can’t believe people don’t understand that THE ONLY REASON fans know about commitments is because kids put them on social media.
Coaches can’t discuss a kid until he signs.
Sites can’t tell you a kid is committed until he gives them permission or goes public himself.

Up until 20 years ago nobody ever knew who was committed.

If Lambert wants, nobody will know until NSD.

A kid committing, shutting down his process, & going on with his life is the way it should be.
Fans don’t need to know shit.

Silent farts>Silent commits

Vince DeDario agrees

You make no sense. That is why kids do verbal to end the endless questions. With no public verbal the questions and harassment continues.

Endless questions by who? Dingis McDrunk on the message board? Why does he give a shit if people keep asking questions?

If he tells Loy not to call anymore because he's made up his mind. Loy won't call. If he tells BC and Ohio State not to call anymore, they probably won't... But they might keep on calling if he verbals anyway.

Literally the only people it effects are recruiting sickos on message boards. (like me)

 

[smw6230]

It offends my musician sensibilities to ruin some perfect good shells with some GB Packer crap plastered everywhere.

And it ain't a anti-GB thing either. I'm a lifelong Cowboy fans and there's no way I put any decal on my DW shells.

 

[BobbyMac]

Lambert informed ND he was coming in July. It will go public in the next couple of weeks.

Quit trying to "figure out" Guerby. Guys like him and Pete Skoronski just don't care and that makes everything you've learned about reading the rekrooting tea leaves worthless.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Bruh, outside of rando's on ND message boards, nobody has asked anything about Lambert in over a month.

He stopped taking visits and stopped talking to staffs.

Pretty much everybody has drawn the conclusion that he is a ND lock and whenever he decides to make his decision public, it's going to be ND.

There's no questions, because nothing has changed in weeks. ND was the team to beat going into visits, and everything emerging from his visits basically cements that ND is it.

 

[notredomer23]

BC fans claiming Guerby was at the game on Saturday. Went over to the 4 fans on the BC 247 board and their staff member said he believes he was there but unconfirmed
